Plot

edit

Zak, Cloe, Kiet and Fenzy are four unpopular kids from Earth who are not very good at sports. One day they find bracelets that have the power to transport them to another dimension. There they meet Tänpo, the master, who explains that the Zorn Empire is about to conquer the Multiverse. The Earth is in danger and, if they want to save it, there is only one way: they will have to overcome their weaknesses, learn the art of Sendokai to become warriors, and win the Great Sendokai Tournament of the Multiverse.[8]

Characters

edit
  • Zak - Zak likes to be the center of attention.[9]
  • Cloe - Cloe is an intelligent and responsible girl.[10]
  • Kiet - Kiet is the laziest guy in the multiverse.[11]
  • Fenzy - Fenzy is quite a character: brave, proud, and sarcastic.[12]
  • Tänpo - Tänpo is the Sendokai master of the kids [13]
  • Lula - Lula is Tänpo's pet and his only companion [14]
  • Sidmodius - Minister Sidmodius would do anything for the Zorn... or so he says.[15]

  • Kazkrad - Kazkrad is the other Zorn commander.[17]
  • Kento/Marshal Zorn - The Marshal is the leader of the Zorn and directs the empire with an iron fist, conquering all dimensions in its path but then he redeems himself.[18]
  • Lon - Lon joins the group in season 2, and quickly becomes Cloe's love interest, to Zak's disgust. He has a dark and goth appearance then in the final he becomes on the great zorn.
  • Kido - Same as Lon, he joins the Sendokai group in season 2. He's a Kiwun from planet Masara and when not fighting, he usually serves as comic relief.
